Book Description

Publication Date: March 3, 2009

Forbidden fantasies are about to come to life.

In Forbidden Surrender, Teri Carter is a corporate lawyer who travels constantly, and her social life—especially her sex life—is nonexistent. But Teri has a deep, dark fantasy and when she meets Josh Williams, a Master who knows a born submissive when he sees one, he teaches her all about pleasure…and complete surrender. 

In Wicked Surrender, Andi Kelly is looking forward to a weekend of turning over control to a dominant man. She's headed to what patrons refer to as "The Bondage Club," an exclusive resort.  What she never expects is to meet the man of her dreams in the form of the devastatingly hot Derrick Macintyre—a fantasy turned reality. 

In Sweet Surrender, Sheila Lane burns for Adamo Tassoni, but circumstances have forced her to keep the flames locked deep in her heart. Drop-dead gorgeous bosses only fall in love with their administrative assistants in the movies, right? Besides, she's full-figured and plain, nothing like the flawless, cultured females in his world.  Then when Adam sells Tassoni Investments, Shelia is heartbroken and sure her fantasies will never come true. But when she receives a mysterious invitation, her life changes…forever.

More About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cheyenne McCray would give just about anything to run away with Jason Bourne to any foreign country (minus the getting shot at part) or visit an Otherworld realm. Either one, she's so there.

A multiple award-winning author, Cheyenne grew up on a ranch in southeastern Arizona. Chey has been writing ever since she can remember, back to her kindergarten days when she penned her first poem. She always knew one day she would write novels, hoping her readers would get lost in the worlds she created, just as she experienced when she read some of her favorite books.

Chey has three sons, two dogs, and is an Arizona native who loves the desert, the sunshine, and the beautiful sunsets. Visit Chey's website at http://www.cheyennemccray.com

For those who don't read the author's blogs, this was previously published as Erotic Interludes. McCray has changed the names of the characters for the first story, but everything else is the same.

The stories are HOT, HOT, HOT! But I'm glad I checked and realized I already had the 'first' edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not reality but good fantasies, May 15, 2009

By 

denak (lawrence Ks) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Total Surrender (Paperback)

This is the first book I have read by C. McCray and I have to say, overall, I enjoyed the three stories.

These are obviously fantasies and should be taken as such. No Dom or Sub should ever go to the "extremes" that these couples go to their first time together. It is the complete opposite of "safe and sane."

With that said, suspend disbelief, and enjoy them for what they are. Really nice kinky stories with characters that aren't damaged or, slightly pyschotic or imbeciles which, unfortunately, seem to be the type of characters that are in a lot of "menage" or "BDSM" books.(in my experience)

So, lay back and enjoy them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard Core BDSM Sex - Lacking in Romance, May 4, 2009

By 

EKD (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Total Surrender (Paperback)

I usually enjoy reading BDSM stories for a change of pace but for me the Hotness factor quickly diminished due to a lack of romance in these 3 stories. I found most of the sex scenes brutal rather than sexy and though these guys stated they "loved" these women, I did not feel the love. The way the guys got off on "punishing" these new trainees to the BDSM world just came of as demeaning rather than hot. Personally I think something is wrong with a guy Alpha or not who thinks he needs to punish a woman because she made him "hot for her" with a glance. To me this is not sexy, it smells of insecure male ego.

I'll stick to the writings of Maya Banks, Lora Leigh, & Jaci Burton for my step on the wild side. I need a bit of romance to go along with the hard core sex to keep it from seeming so cold and brutal.
